#AUDI VIRTUAL COCKPIT DRIVERS#
It’s essentially a tablet computer embedded into the Audi’s dash, NVIDIA explains, and it’s controlled with a new generation of Audi’s proprietary control modules, which has been optimized to allow drivers to effortlessly shift the display with one hand while keeping their eyes forward-facing. The possibilities are not necessarily endless, but certainly many, made more impressive considering the new infotainment system is connected (i.e., it can use a data connection), and is reportedly twice as powerful as its predecessor - thanks to NVIDIA’s Tegra units.
This can range from GPS to the usual media settings, the tachometer, speedometer, fuel consumption, temperature, and so on. The chips will power what Audi is calling its Virtual Cockpit, which essentially replaces the traditional gauge cluster with a screen that can display just about everything the driver might want to know about their car. Sort of.Īt the Los Angeles Auto Show, Audi made a joint press conference with the chip maker to announce the partnership that will see NVIDIA’s Tegra mobile processors being implemented into Audi’s future range of cars, beginning with the 2016 Audi TT.
You know in the movies, when there’s a car in the future and all the necessary information is illustrated on the heads-up display? Well, with a partnership with NVIDIA, Audi is taking us one step closer to making that a reality.
